Hi.
See inline comments..
[snip]
Here is my code.
1 $filename = 'This is a directory\file\sub.txt'; 2 $regex = '\\(\w+\.\w+)$';
$regex = '\\(\w+\.\w+\)$';
Missed to escape the last ) ...

However if I "copy/paste" the actual regexp from line 2 into line 3 and
not use the variable, the program works fine.
Yes, single versus double quotes.. may want to look up the differences.. :D Leaving that as an exercise for the reader..
